Abnormal increases in muscle tone can be caused by various musculoskeletal disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate intratester and intertester reliabilities in measuring the stiffness of the shoulder muscles using strain ultrasound elastography (USE) and an acoustic coupler. Tissue stiffness was measured in the trapezius muscle and in the supraspinatus muscle of healthy young volunt...... hiện toàn bộ

We evaluated the sonographic findings of immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing sialadenitis (IgG4-SS). Nineteen patients with IgG4-SS and 12 healthy volunteers (controls) were enrolled. The following sonographic features were evaluated: (1) enlargement of the submandibular gland by measurement of the longitudinal diameter and thickness; (2) the contour texture of the submandibular gland (smooth or ...... hiện toàn bộ
